As a friend of Alex's since high school, I am here to ask for your help as she is working to start over to create a wonderful life for her and her daughter.

Alex put everything aside when she discovered she was pregnant with her now teenage daughter, Giana. She has had multiple jobs and started her own catering company where she shared her love for cooking with the community. Together, they have faced many hardships and Alex has done everything in her power to provide and be the best mother she can be while doing her best to care for herself and those around her.

Recently, Alex has been knocked down and discovered some health issues of her own, while navigating to start over in a safe environment for her and Giana.

She is the most caring, sweet soul who has worked hard to provide for her small family. I am here to ask for any support as she gets back on her feet while taking some time to work with doctors to get answers for her own health concerns.

Alex has been such a light in so many people's lives and now it is time for us to return the good karma her and Giana deserve. Please share what you can at this time to help them get through this rocky patch. I have also created a meal train and will share the link for that in the comments.

Thank you for taking the time to read Alex's story and for your generosity during their difficult time.
